Answer #1

OPTION 3 )moving her arms and legs so that as her center of mass moves, she keeps her head at the same height above the ground,when ballet leaps ,she stretches her legs such that her center of mass moves closer to her head and when she is returning from jump to ground center of mass moves to original position .therefore it appears  to defy gravity as head  is moving almost horizontal
